Sam Walton's Tumblr

The esoteric, eccentric, ramblings of an old fellow trapped in a young mans body. Expect cynicism and unseemly outbursts of rage interspersed with the occasional, exceptional, insight...

Looking for something in particular, sir?

About Me

Welcome to my Tumblr.

The Site

I started this site as a way to aggregate things I like, primarily for my own benefit. Over time I developed it into a way to share things I think might be interesting, or that I find more interesting than the rest of the junk out there, with other people. I grabbed a few followers but very little re-blogging or ‘liking’ told me my formula was wrong. As a result I’ve decided to limit the remit of my website in the hope it might be mildy interesting to some more people.

The blog should now have a focus on the following things…

  • Technology - Linux, scripts, gadgets, etc.
  • Politics - News, activism, opinions.
  • Society - The media, consumer culture and the like.
  • Me - The interesting things that happen in my life.

The Author

I’m Sam Walton, an undergraduate who’s studying Social Policy.

I’m a great advocate of Open Source Software, an avid Linux user and a supporter of open standards. I’ll be posting from Arch Linux - which is a brilliant distro.

Software isn’t my only ‘geeky’ fixation, I like comics - namley Judge Dredd - Star Trek, old computer games and general science fiction.

Beyond that all you need to know is that I’m a cynical individual. I’m suspicious of authority and domination. I guess that makes me a mildy interesting character.

I’ve got opinions and I like debate.
